[Jeffrey Giberstein]

Assuming that there is equal airflow to all cylinders, how is the
output/usefulness of a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor used in a
speed-density system affected if the sensor is placed in an intake runner as
opposed to being in the plenum or near the throttle body(s)?  I'm just
concerned as to whether the airflow rate in a runner (being far greater than it
would be in a region of capacitance like in the plenum) would affect the
"static" pressure reading which is the useful number in estimating air density
in the manifold.  Please excuse the run-on sentences!
